Integration itself plays a role in understanding the concept of expected value. For instance, quantities like entropy an

I thought back on my mom and how strict she was. When I was five we were at a fair and I begged her for cotton candy. “No” she responded, “it’ll make you sick”. As soon as she looked away I snuck off and secretly ate a whole batch (got her!). I spent the ride home projectile vomiting pink liquid all over the car. I never had cotton candy again. She knew how to protect us, but only from small things, sweet things.

As I mentioned, neural networks are essentially functions, which are trained using the tools of calculus. However, they are described with linear algebraic concepts like matrix multiplication.

I thought back on my dad, who wasn’t strict at all. He was actually one of the first people I told when I lost my virginity. He said “congratulations papouti” then he was serious “Don’t tell anyone, this country will judge you”. I had already told my 8 best girlfriends (oops), but I nodded and promised I wouldn’t. Then he added “Always make him wear a condom. And don’t get pregnant. Or have orgies. But if you do, make them wear a condom. Not the same one”. He knew how to make me laugh, but only about the small things, the sweet things.

I think of my first driving lesson. My dad put me behind the wheel in one of Beirut’s busiest and most dangerous highways, because “that’s how you learn in life”. I cried the whole way through that highway, that was right across the Beirut Port.

To have a good understanding of linear algebra, I would suggest starting with vector spaces. It is better if we talk about a special case first. You can think of each point in the plane as a tuple

I would recommend the Single Variable Calculus course from MIT. (In general, online courses from MIT are always excellent learning resources.) If you are more of a book person, there are many textbooks available. The Calculus book by Gilbert Strang accompanying the previously mentioned course is again a great resource, completely free of charge.

This is the prototypical model of a vector space. In general, a set of vectors V is a vector space over the real numbers if you can add vectors together and multiply a vector with a real number, such that the following properties hold:

I think of my favorite bar there: Vyvyan’s. I think of Santana, their bartender. I’d go there for his Moscow Mule every weekend from 2013 to 2015. Whenever I’m in Beirut I go see Santana and I’m like “I’m back!” and he’s like “Who are you?”

I think of Grand Factory, my favorite club down the street from Mar Mikhael — and J, the guy I “accidentally” ran into there every Thursday when I was 19, and who every Thursday, told me he’d leave his girlfriend for me. They’re married now.

We were at the top of the stairs up Beydoun Street in Beirut, named after the Beydoun Mosque at its entrance, and also the street I lived on. We were far enough from my apartment where my family ( all the Gods and prophets) wouldn’t see me, but close enough to home where I felt safe. K and I ran 100 steps up so we could kiss privately, albeit out of breath. At the bottom of the stone steps was a police station. Those sleazy officers blew kisses my way every time I walked by them. We were hiding from them too. We kept the kiss short so I could run back home before the 5AM call to prayer that always woke my mom up.

I think of Gemmayze and Mar Mikhael, my favorite streets, with their traditional Lebanese red roofs that are (or at least were before the blast) some of the last few left in Beirut.

On August 4th at 6:08pm, after hearing the first boom, my mother saved herself by running out of her windowed office and into the corridor. The reflexes she built in during the civil war saved her life. When the second, near nuclear explosion went off and blew her office to pieces, she was left untouched behind the concrete.

As I called my dad and my brothers, I realized the blast wasn’t just near my mom’s office. It was near everyone’s office. Everyone’s home. Everywhere. “Who should I check on?” I thought to myself. “Who’s in Beirut right now Nataly? Think”.

al call to talk to the executive team. After a few superficial exchanges, they asked me, “so how are you going to take us to the next level, and do you have a plan?” I tried to control my breathing over the phone. I wondered, “how was I unprepared for this question?” I stumbled through a few more questions until one of them said, “Sounds like we need to regroup. Why don’t we reschedule for next week?”

After Santana, we would often go to my brother’s favorite bar: Cyrano. I was just there in December. I scroll through Instagram and see that Rawan, their bartender, was working and lost her life there that day. She was younger than me.
